Well this is as done as it's going to get. Tiliqua frangens, a megafauna skink from pleiocene and pleistocene australia with large pointy scales feeding on spring wildflowers. #palaeoart #palaeoart #reptile #lizard

I forgot to post a flower pic earlier, I was too excited about the prospect of my first proper shower since my foot op. Anyhow, I feel wonderful now, and I had a trip out for lunch too with beloved OH. Managed fine on crutches now that I am allowed to put my bad foot down. Have a happy flower 😁 🌱

New images of interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS are coming in as it moves out of the Sun's glare and (barely) back into view.

This shot, by Michael Buechner and Frank Niebling, shows an intriguing anti-tail and a "smoking" tail. 🧪🔭

britastro.org/observations...

Interstellar Comet 3I Atlas at 09.11.2025 shows nice tail structures Despite interference from moonlight (82 % illuminated) and a small height of around 9 to 12 degrees a try on comet 3I Atlas. The picture is heavily processed to show the antitail and the "smoking" tail. Combination of a picture series with 2 telescopes, piggyback mounted and tracked on comet: TEC 140 at f5 and ASI 6200MM, 5x180s L Askar 300

A dahlia plant with light green leaves and 3 magenta /purple flowers with yellow centers at my sunny window. 2 flowers are at the top and one lower, in the middle. It's against a white wall.

Large orange dahlia flowers in bright sun, a blurred, white with purple streaks, dahlia on left. Colored metal cage bits in lower left are the cayenne pepper cages. Also a good year for peppers!

This is about 38 hours of data of a lot of different interesting features. The main feature here is LDN 1266, but there's also the "Teddy Bear Nebula" and about a dozen more bright and dark nebulae throughout the frame.

#astrophotography #photography

This image of a nebula is an explosion of colors. There is a variety of bright and dark nebula sprinkled throughout the image. In the center is LDN 1266 which features a semi circular wall of reds and golds with towering features that reach in towards a long vertical dark region in the center. The combination of the wall and the dark feature has a similarity to the shape and structure of a cat's eye.

🌱🧡 On my first full day back in the garden after surgery last week, enjoyed the sweet reveal of Hedychium (Ginger Lily) 'Disney'. Complex pollination mechanism is a thing of beauty. Zingiberaceae
